The Cervelo Aspero is pretty much the top of my list right now but unfortunately there are none near me in my size to test ride.

I ride a 2023 Procaliber, in size XL, I'm 189cm, 85kg, with totally average proportions. The size 58 Aspero seems to be clearly the size for me, but I'm totally new to road bikes and drop-bar bikes, and my main concern is if the Aspero will feel too slammed/racy over longer rides 2+ hours.

I'm guessing it should be good because the Procaliber itself is a pretty aggressive race bike for XC, and geometry wise it seems the Aspero reach will be much closer. I could definitely use some better flexibility but I'm in my 40's and it's hard to keep the flexibility.

Any a

Given the choice between a 2025 lower-spec aspero and a higher spec 2022 aspero for use as mainly an all-road / endurance bike, which would you choose?

2025 spec: shifter: SRAM Apex, crank: SRAM Apex 1, 40T, DUB Wide rear derailleur: SRAM APEX XPLR, 12 Speed breaks: SRAM Apex, SRAM Centerline 6-Bolt discs Fulcrum Rapid Red 300 wheelset handlebar Cervélo AB09 Carbon UDH!

2022 spec: Shimano GRX 815 Di2 shift/brake lever and GRY 810 crank Shimano GRX 815 Di2 11-speed rear derailleur and front derailleur Shimano GRX 815 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors Reverse 32 wheelset Easton EC70AX Carbon handlerbar

The obvious differences are 2x on the 2022 vs 1x on the 2025, and UDH, but I'm no

I'm trying to learn the platform and between ETH and solana, GAME hosted vs self-hosted w/ SDK, it's quite a bit to make heads or tails of.

The whitepaper says this: "Users pay to access and interact with these AI-powered applications, whether it’s through in-app purchases, subscriptions, or other monetized interactions."

Later it specifies that agents are to be paid with $VIRTUAL.

Does this exist anywhere? How do agents actually make money, or is the current market cap of agents just pure speculation from people buying the coins?

thanks!

Hi All, wanted to share the new knife for anyone interested in these scales - enjoy! It is the salt magnacut version (originally yellow grips) with awt lw scales.

I have a regular ira but cannot deduct contributions due to income level. Is the right move to convert to a Roth and if so how? Should I move money into it, or start it fresh, or aim for some sort of tricky conversion where I don't need to tax the earnings of the ira? Or something else? Thank you!

Hi, could use some help, don't know what to buy. I'm left handed so I'm attracted to the Manix 2 the most, but I'm overwhelmed with the steel options. I know there are some other left-handed models with the compression lock like pm2, but I want to do custom micarta scales at some point and those left handed models don't really have third party scales available.

I use my knife every day but mainly on modern stuff like cutting things around the house or food prep. I do treat my knife as a do-anything beater knives though so I like general versatility.

The steel - s30v, magnacut, cruwear, spy, the list goes on and on and I'm pretty new to the knife world, so I'm confounded.

I have diamond sh

I sometimes have my tests fail in the case of any errors logged. It's a nice easy way to see if any code in the test is triggerring failures, in addition to those that the test is explicitly checking for.

Because I do this, it requires that I pass loggers through as dependencies, and not use default loggers, so that tests running simultaneously do not fail based on other tests.

Do people do this and consider it good practice?

Can a casual rider (single 1 1/2 hour ride on the weekend) with minimal exercising (e.g. twice a week) ever build enough core strength to comfortably keep weight off a low handlebar?

I got the procaliber 9.7 this year and I'm loving the bike. Main issue I have especially after 30 minutes or so is the low bar. It's 90mm stem with a negative angle so it's angled down, and the bar is flat. I have all the stock risers installed.

I can flip the stem and it will be a good 3cm higher or so, but I'd rather not bother if it would be normal to adjust to it over time without significant training. I notice most MTB's have bars swept upwards or otherwise not so low/agressive like the procaliber.

Having some analysis paralysis on my next book. Recently I've been on a sci-fi/fantasy stretch, and have read:

• red rising series
• dune
• first law trilogy
• stormlight archives
• hyperion
• gentlemen bastards
• kingkiller chronicles

Red rising was my favorite of those, with the rest mostly on the same tier as each other.

Now I'm wondering if I should stay in sci-fi/fantasy or head back into other fiction areas, but I have some non-fiction in my list also. The list I'm looking at is:

• the witcher series
• malazan series
• Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup
• The Prophet
• Blood Meridian
• Project Hail Mary
• American Gods
• Musashi
• The gift
• Flowers for algernon

I've read through reddit already, be gentle! Never used a dropper before.

I'm a casual rider riding once a week 2h hard ride with a mix of asphalt, gravel, fire roads, single track, with at most blue trails on the downhill. I'm not going to be racing. No big jumping just natural hops from speed. My seat definitely gets in the way sometimes so looking to address that. 6'3/190cm height, 35" inseam. 31.6mm post. XL frame size.

I've narrowed down to BikeYoke Revive 3.0 (just released) and looking at the 160mm dropper.

Reasons for bikeyoke - reliability and quality from what I read. Don't want to deal with sending things in for service or replacing cartridges. Was also considering oneup v3, b

I'm looking for an alternate option to my bugout 535-bk4 (alumunium m390), and limiting my search to full ambidextrous or left-handed models, which really pretty much limits to a small percentage of knives out there.

In general since the bugout I have is so light and easy to carry, I'm thinking something with a little bit more strength to it, but I don't do any serious manual activities regularly, so I don't need anything super heavy-duty.

Benchmade axis lock knives, are obviously an option so I'm considering a 940. I'm also a fan of the Para Military 2, although it's too bad I seem limited to the g10 scales only and the older steel. CRK Sebenza knives come in left-handed but although beau

I need to get a new bike as my year 2000 trek mountain bike is in not the best shape. I'm relatively clueless about bikes.

The bike I have I'll keep for a long time. My main use is relatively short rides, e.g. 30 minutes to 2 hours. Mostly pavement but I do have parks nearby where I like to go on climbs, and ride trails to explore, either gravel trails and sometimes forest single track trails. I've always likes mountain bikes for the versatility, I'm mainly in it for exercise so I don't really care about pure efficiency for long rides. The city I live in has some pretty rough streets at times (cobblestones), so some suspension is very welcome.

So I'm still mainly considering a mountain bik

Hi, I'd really appreciate some feedback.

I have an office where I have ordered overhead wall storage because, well I have stuff to store. I have an oversized painting and the problem is the storage will make the painting quite cramped above the couch.

I've created a mock up with actual images of the office with the storage painted in and the painting moved down to accommodate the storage. The dimensions of the storage are more or less accurate, but it's just a rough paint-in color wise and in terms of exactness. The real-world material of the storage is a dark grey, probably a touch darker than in the mock-up and it's a glossy cabinet finish.

I added shadows under the storage based on my
